How to hide a huge TV with paint

[Television]: It's the menace that everyone loves to hate 

but can't seem to live without.  ~Paddy Chayevsky

Many homes have enormous TVs in the living room, but who wants that to be the first thing your guests see?  Instead of an expensive and huge entertainment cabinet, why not use paint to camouflage it?

Before, the light walls made the TV stand out.

After, the darker walls help the TV blend in to the room.

In this room the walls started off light yellow and the big TV stood out in stark contrast and overwhelmed the room.  We painted the walls dark grey which not only minimized the appearance of the TV, it also absorbed some of the visual impact of the dark leather sofas and dark wood furniture, making the room feel bigger, less cluttered, and more focused on the people and conversation in the room, rather than the TV.

Don't be afraid of darker paint.  It really can make a room feel bigger and more inviting and make everything fit the space better!
